The first spacecraft designed to capture 3-D "stereo" views of the sun and solar wind have been shipped from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Md., for their next round of pre-launch tests. http://www.stereo.jhuapl.edu/ |

Watching the live stream here, and people are clapping and smiling, so I presume things are going well. |

SECCHI has an open data policy. Calibrated data will be made public via the Internet within hours of its receipt. The SECCHI team will provide modern data visualization tools to display the information from one telescope, to overlay data from multiple instruments, and to visualize coincident data from both spacecraft. ![]() ![]() And a little more info on some of the instruments: http://secchi.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=Specifics Coronographs: COR2 will image the corona with five times the spatial resolution and three times the temporal resolution of LASCO/C3. Extreme Ultraviolet Imager: EUVI provides full Sun coverage with twice the spatial resolution and dramatically improved cadence over EIT. |

Afternoon all,
I've managed to catch the X-Band signals from both of the Stereo satellites this morning, the signal was extreamly strong which isnt too suprising as they are so close to earth. I could see sidebands on the X-band signal, presumably downlink telemetry. The satellites only peaked at 15 degrees elevation this morning, so half of the dish was blocked by local buildings. Tommorows pass looks better with a 21deg peak elevation. I've put up a report of the x-band reception at http://www.uhf-satcom.com/stereo/ regards, Paul www.uhf-satcom.com -------------------- Paul Marsh - ham callsign = M0EYT Contributor to www.uhf-satcom.com |
